Harmon, a New York real estate dealer, has set aside a foundation of $700,000 to be used in supplying playgrounds for the children of the smaller towns in the country. Any town of less than 10,000 population can avail itself of a part of the fund for the purpose of building playgrounds, it is said. The movement was conceived in Lebanon, Ohio, and their has spread now until it covers the entire nation. The fund is called the Harmon Foundation. Mr. Harmon was born in a very respectable community in the middle western states. He says that when he was a young boy he played in the alleys, picked up empty whiskey bottles and sold them at the saloons and got the false idea that to be a man one must be a real tough. He says that it takes much stern dicipline to change this idea in boys after they once get it, and claims that it is much , worse in small towns. Mr. Harmon says the way to correct this condi- , tion is to provide playgrounds for the , children. More than fifty communi- , ties have made application for assist- ( ance from the foundation already, it < is said. Mr. Harmon is desirious that ( the children of today may get that social consciousness that he missed when he was a boy. CORRECTION ' I Carroll Cole was one of the three 1 boys who rode through to Winona Lake and back on their bicycles instead of Richard Frisinger, as was j previously reported in this paper. Ij
